At Methodist Hospital and Jennie Edmundson Hospital, we’re committed to doing what’s right for your heart, and we always have been. Our physicians, nurses and technicians work closely to ensure your care is tailored to suit your specific needs.

We continuously assess our performance, and are proud to report that MHS outcomes for such key measures as ‘door-to-balloon rates’ – the amount of time it takes to move a heart patient from the emergency room entrance to lifesaving procedure – are consistently better than national standards.


All of our diagnostic and rehabilitation centers – from Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation to our Vascular Lab and Echo Lab – are nationally certified for excellence in cardiac care.

Understanding Quality Care

Methodist Hospital has been recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) for improving the quality of care for heart attack patients.

Methodist Hospital has earned the AHA Mission: Lifeline Bronze Performance Achievement Award as a STEMI (STElevation Myocardial Infarction) Receiving Center. STEMI means heart attack, and successful heart attack treatment requires a carefully coordinated, expedited response.

As a Mission: Lifeline Award winner, the multidisciplinary team at Methodist Hospital has demonstrated a higher standard of care that improves the survival and outcomes of the most critical heart attack patients. AHA Mission: Lifeline performance standards are among the many quality measures that the Methodist Cardiac & Vascular Center focuses on each day.
